The Angelic, Angel

With dinners out, evening drinks and the desire to start your relationship with the best of everything, dating can be bad for the diet. At The Angelic, based unsurprisingly in North London’s Angel, you can get your relationship off to a sin-free start with their juice bar and healthy menu.

But don’t worry, it’s not all yoga bunnies and wheat-grass, they’ve got the indulgent side down too. So you can watch your waist and go for a spiced quinoa and black bean burger, or forget the diet and share a (definitely full fat) cheese fondue.

Desserts are a must with classics like baked vanilla cheesecake or chocolate fondant. The menu changes monthly and with the option to have a dish as a main or starter you don’t have to wade through a huge meal if your nerves often get the better of you.

It served eHarmony’s Martin pretty well on his first date too – “We had a really nice Sunday lunch, very relaxed and informal – less pressure than a ‘big night out’ and easier to cut short if its not panning out well,” he says.

Take a look at their great website, it’ll push you over the edge if you’re unsure – www.theangelic.co.uk.
